lyrics

Don't walk on water
Don't feel stigmata
Your body bruises just like the rest
Don't bring me down

You talk like a martyr
Body draped like an altar
You don't rise like an angel
You are just like the rest of us

Don't bathe your daughters in dirty water
Seeds of their fathers seep down to our brothers
They never falter, however minor
Don't drown your daughters in bloody water

Don't watch the spear impaling
Don't fear the god forsaking
A wolf in sheep's clothing
So go cleanse yourself of your bitter skin

You can cure the lepers
Wear a crown, not golden
Resist temptation
But don't go around trying to bring me down

Don't bathe your daughters in dirty water
Seeds of their fathers seep down to our brothers
They never falter, however minor
Don't drown your daughters in bloody water

I am tired
I am weak
I can't speak

We are tired
We are weak
We can hardly speak
